Given numbers are 978,957,551,231
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 978,957,551,231 is 41493606.
Find LCM of 978,957,551,231 with Prime Factorization
| 3 | 978, 957, 551, 231 |
| 11 | 326, 319, 551, 77 |
| 29 | 326, 29, 551, 7 |
| 326, 1, 19, 7 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
3 x 11 x 29 x 326 x 1 x 19 x 7 = 41493606
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 978,957,551,231 is 41493606.
LCM formula is LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}
Firstly, we have to find the product of all the numbers.
978 x 957 x 551 x 231 = 119128142826
Then, let us find the GCF of these five numbers. To do so, we have to list down the factors for each number and choose the highest factor that is in all of the lists.
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
957 : 1, 3, 11, 29, 33, 87, 319, 957
551 : 1, 19, 29, 551
231 : 1, 3, 7, 11, 21, 33, 77, 231
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 978,957,551,231, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
978:2x 3x 163
957:3x 11x 29
551:19x 29
231:3x 7x 11
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
3x 3x 11x 29 = 2871
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2871.
Now that we have all the elements of the formula, we can plug them in to calculate the LCM.
LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}
LCM = 119128142826/(1x2871)
LCM = 119128142826/2871
LCM = 41493606
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 978,957,551,231 is 41493606.
